Who are you people? I thought this was for people who think Baylor is way better?


We do but it's college bball. Georgia Texh just upset #9 N Carolina and a few days later loses by 50 to Duke. U just never know. Game isn't over yet. Still think we will pull this off.

Have to find a way to win when you aren't at your best.

These games during the break have been tough for us in the past as well.


Oh yeah. Definitely. These games happen. Got to grind.

Was it OSU or ISU a year or two ago when we had the ball last and they rebounded went the length for a layup and the win? Please no.

Proud of this team for fighting back. I would put in Al here to help Manu who will likely be taken out of the play and have to give it up.

A clue how college basketball works. That's all.

Rant away...just showing that you're not so smart.

No biggie...I just need to make a mental note of who to ignore.

There are no easy conference games. We will lose some we probably shouldn't. So will everyone else.

Winning when you don't play well is the sign of a champion

Jesus man.... What a win to add to the win column.

The best part is with a few days and Scott Drew, this team won't come out this flat again..

Sic 'em.
